Outdoor Classrooms Training and Development Programs

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”  Ben Franklin

Outdoor Classrooms inspires early childhood teachers, out-of-school-time educators; along with, parents and families to create one-of-a-kind Outdoor Classrooms and/or Backyard Teaching Gardens. All on a shoe-string budget. One way we do this is through workshops and training.

All workshops and training are led by Victoria Hackett, M.Ed.  Whether your workshop is online or onsite, Victoria blends theory with hands-on problem-solving techniques, true-to-life anecdotes, valuable tips, and lively participation. Her extensive experience as a consultant/trainer/mentor and her background as a Natural Teacher allow her to bring profound knowledge and a pragmatic approach to every workshop she teaches.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Transform Your Backyard into a Teaching Garden

1-hour workshop

Pre-recorded

With every crisis comes an opportunity. Now is the time to look at our backyards, front yards, side yards, windowsills, and porches a little differently. Can we transform these spaces into Teaching Gardens for our children? With time on our side and support from the Outdoor Classrooms c community, we can face our fears head-on and come out the other side a little bit stronger. Let’s come together.

• Cultivate “seeds of inspiration” and simple tips for helping children and families tor outdoor learning.
• Learn the key ingredients for creating a one-of-a-kind Backyard Teaching Garden.
• Explore 10 simple backyard projects that highlight learning outdoors.

Fill your “toolbox” with outdoor activity ideas that will have your kids asking to go outdoors every day!
